Abstract

This research aims to design and implement a computer intranet network at MA Al-Rahman, a senior high school located in Sodonghilir, Tasikmalaya district, to enhance the quality of technology-based learning. Initial observations showed that the school’s network infrastructure was not fully integrated, limiting access to digital learning resources. This study employs a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the Network Development Life Cycle (NDLC) model, which consists of analysis, design, simulation, implementation, monitoring, and management stages. The implementation involves a combination of wired and wireless media, with Mikrotik devices functioning as bandwidth management controllers. The testing results indicate improved network performance based on Quality of Service (QoS) parameters, with latency decreasing from 24.53 ms to 2.11 ms, jitter improving from 35.90 ms to 2.99 ms, packet loss ranging from 0.4% to 0.9%, and throughput increasing from 150 kbps to 2.61 Mbps. Expert validation confirms that the developed network is feasible for use. Overall, this research is expected to provide an effective and stable intranet solution for the school environment and support the integration of technology into the teaching and learning process.
